[Samba] Compatibility with Windows Server 2012 R2

[Ricardo Pardim Claus]

Dear Marc,In the field we have only simple objects (GPO desktop, file server, users and groups).In total, there are approximately 100 desktops +120 users. Only one site.
How to create a new domain in the Samba with the same SID of the current domain?
So I could create a new DC with the same domain and SID, and import objects (users and desktops accounts).

* What size is your domain (users, machines, number of sites, etc.)?
* Are only the plain AD objects in the directory or any other stuff, too
(additional attributes, Exchange, etc.)?


Maybe the amount of work is acceptable to provision the domain from
scratch? Otherwise you have to provision a new domain in Samba with the
same domain SID (do we have an option for that??) and find some tools to
export/import all user/group/machine objects that work with Samba AD and
MS AD.
